🇩🇪 → 🇯🇵
Your native language (Deutsch) quietly pushes you into specific Japanese errors. Here are the ones to watch — and the fix for each. This is exactly how WordSlick coaches you, every day.
See my full report & start free →German already parks the verb at the end after weil/dass — Japanese does that in EVERY clause. Treat the whole language as one big subordinate clause.
German fuses role into der/den/dem; Japanese uses separate particles AFTER the noun (が subject, を object, に dative-like). Rough map: den→を, dem→に — but learn them as their own system.
All the der/die/das machinery simply vanishes — nouns are bare and number is usually left unsaid. Don’t reach for a substitute; context and particles do the work.
The Sie/du calculation transfers to plain vs です/ます — but Japanese marks it on every verb ending, and keigo adds honorific/humble layers Sie never had.
Particles mark grammatical role — choosing は vs が and を vs に is the core challenge.
Japanese is Subject-Object-Verb; the verb always comes last.
